Hello all,
who is going to MegaCon on the 25th of next month in Orlando?
I havent been to any Cons like this before so i'm not sure if I should go as a Cosplayer or not! I wonted to go as Kenshin I've got the red hair sholder langth and I am a master at the Katana lol and I've got a real mens kimono that is perfect for the role, I really wont to go as him, but I dont know if I should! dose anyone have any imput for me?

But you do have a valid question. Though I did not cosplay to my first con ever- which WAS Megacon in 2001- I think it is perfectly fine to cosplay to your first con. I did not cosplay for my first year of con-going. I wore total civvies to Megacon,then a dirndl to the other 4 cons I went that year. Then in 2002 I started cosplaying- and wore costumes to all cons I went to.

It is fine to wear an approximation to a character. You could loosely say that my dirndl was a Heidi, Girl of the Alps costume. Which would be cool because #1 it is my real name and #2 it is the first movie I watched.

I don't think you need proof. It's not a uber-organized event, after all, just people getting together for some casual group shots. And this thread should be locked soon, in all fairness...since we already have a Megacon thread in the correct forums! XD
